Hannah, who only returned to racing in April after breaking her ankle in August 2015, outsprinted Alice in the final 100m, with the sisters stealing a march on Lucy Garner, who finished third.

Dame Sarah Storey laid down one of the day’s best attacks, going solo from within the first 20km of the race, with her lead standing at around 90 seconds at one point.

A strong 12-rider bunch eventually caught the time trial bronze medallist, with Storey momentarily dropping off the bunch but clawing her way back on as the group reached the final circuits round Stockton.
